Hi,

I've set up Roomie on an iPhone 4, and it works fine. There are 3 'standard' remotes all connected to a Global Cache iTach - Samsung TV Receiver, Panasonic TV and Panasonic Soundbar. The Soundbar controls all volume.

&nbsp;

My problem is with Volume control via the iPhones Volume Buttons. The 'soft' buttons work fine, as they are activities linked to the Soundbar remote. But I can not get the iPhones Volume buttons to control.

Having searched the forums, I checked the Soundbar remote has a volume Rocker (it's the standard remote). The Device Settings has 'Volume for All activities' selected. The Roomie settings has 'Override Volume' selected. I can not see what is wrong.

Any advice would be gratefully received. Thanks.

The hardware override feature requires the following:

<ul>

<li>An Activity based Remote Design (Test Remote and Manual Remote are not that).</li>

<li>A correctly setup Volume Control device with standard VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN commands.</li>

</ul>

Given the above are true, any remaining issues would likely be external to Roomie. For instance, an active phone call or a playing song from the iOS device might interfere with the buttons.

Thank you.
